By the Book Coaching
Whether you are writing your first novel or your fifth, writing can be a lonely and overwhelming endeavor.
It’s also very time-consuming. A book coach works alongside you to make sure your time is well-spent. And sometimes, a book coach can make sure you are spending the time you committed to!
From helping you develop your idea to polishing your agent’s query letter or book proposal, a book coach takes the loneliness and guesswork out of the book writing process.
Or maybe, you’ve drafted your novel but now you are so invested you can’t see the forest for the trees so-to-speak. With fresh eyes and an ‘outside’ perspective, a book coach can guide you through the review process. Making sure there are no plot holes or story flow issues, a book coach can catch major problems and help you polish your book to a shine!
